Abstract

Melting phase relations in the methane-ammonia-water system up to 3 GPa have been obtained in a series of in situ experiments in externally heated diamond anvil cells. The melting temperature of methane clathrate hydrates increases rapidly above pressures of ~ 1.5 GPa, and does not appear to be significantly affected by the presence of ammonia. The reaction of the hydrate formation at pressures 2 - 3 GPa is kinetically impeded. Our data show that the high-pressure methane hydrate has the maximum melting temperature among the clathrate hydrates studied so far.
